This isn't exactly a Trump "appointment", but Rand Paul is recommending Elon Musk as Speaker of the House.

I dont see either trump or musk wanting this. Might be a step back for musk and trump may feel upstaged.

This reminds me of the testimony phase of the USFL trial when they sued the NFL, when one sports writer mused, “ Donald Trump, Al Davis, Howard Cosell….. how did they get those three big egos in one room?”

Musk spent 250M on this election

he bought our country for less than he paid for Twitter

Future speaker? I wouldn’t be mad.

Much like the Hollywood foreign press, these people are clearly racist. /s

Thune has privately told Trump that Hegseth has the votes to be confirmed as Defense Secretary, sources say

When asked for comment, a spokesman for Senate Majority Leader John Thune said "two things we don't discuss publicly: Whip counts and private conversations with the president."

Confirmation hearings on today for Hegseth. Lot of it is the usual dog and pony show.

Will he get the job?

Polymarket currently gives him an 89% chance of confirmation.

You have to ask? The GOP approved Betsy DeVos, so qualifications aren't valid criteria.

Not bad.....

The whole room just started laughing at Pocahontas after Hegseth embarrassed her.

"You're quite sure that every general who serves should not go directly into the defense industry for 10 years, but you're not willing to make that same pledge?"

"I'm NOT a general Senator." - Hegseth

Warren's face just before this cuts away had me in stitches.

Senator Jack Reed, Army Veteran and Armed Services Ranking Member, HAMMERS Pete Hegseth: “Mr. Hegseth, I do not believe you are qualified to meet the overwhelming demands of this job.”

Leaving the grift door wide open. Not a problem for Hegseth or his GOP cronies.

Hegseth refuses to say whether allegations of beating your spouse should be disqualifying to serve as Secretary of Defense. Kaine says this demonstrates "an astonishing lack of judgement"

Warren never said he was a general. She was asking if he should be held to the same standards as them.

Got a chuckle from him saying he wouldn’t want certain senators on his board considering who he was sitting next to.
